5 . Recently, my daughter reminded me of someone we saw at the train station a few years ago.

That day, my daughter and I were waiting for our train. We went to buy some drinks, and then we saw the old man. Dressed poorly, he was standing in front of the counter (柜台) while counting coins slowly to buy just one bottle of water. The businessman behind him said impatiently, “Hey! Can’t you be quick? Some of us have a train to catch!” Hearing this, the old man seemed to be very embarrassed, so he walked away quietly at once.

It was my turn. I bought our two drinks and the old man’s water as well. We walked up to him and gave him the water with a smile. After walking away, my daughter complained, “Dad, the old man is so impolite. He didn’t even say ‘thank you’ to us!” I told her that we did this not to get a “thank you” from other people. We just wanted to be nice.

Now, my daughter always reaches out to help people. She waves, makes eye contact (接触) and says “hi” to people on the street. She holds doors for people. She scoops up things that other people drop.

When I mentioned this recently, she seemed surprised. I asked her why she was so kind all the time. She said, “Because it is just right to be that way.” Then she added, “And because I see you do that all the time.”

请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确，语义完整，并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置。

Li Anqiang, 33, works on prosthetic rehabilitation (假肢康复). He has been using artificial (人造的) legs for 15 years in his daily study and work since the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. His legs hurt seriously after being buried for a whole day and night, and after that, he lost his legs forever.

He soon returned to school but felt hopeless. “I had no idea what I would do with the rest of my life,” he said. He finally found the courage to spend another five months in rehabilitation and training to live with prosthetic legs.

After hard work, Li went to Sichuan University and later he got the chance to study in the US.

At the end of 2019, Li returned to Chengdu and began to make videos on social media about his life with prosthetic legs. He found that many people who experienced amputations (截肢) could not walk freely, because they didn’t have professional rehabilitation exercises. This encouraged him to work on prosthetics and rehabilitation.

“I believe that the world is beautiful. Even though it can be difficult to get around, we should still go out and see the world,” Li said. He also hopes that society can be more patient with those people with disabilities. “I hope that one day when we walk down the street with prostheses, we are treated no differently than people with glasses,” Li added.

1. How long has Li Anqiang been using artificial legs?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. How did Li Anqiang feel when he returned to school?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. Where did Li Anqiang get the chance to study, in the US or in the UK?
